Summary
Brotato, anXbox Game Passindie game similar toVampire Survivors, is getting local co-op as part of a free update coming later this year.Brotatofirst released on Steam last summer and has proven to be quite a hit on the platform. At the time of this writing,Brotatoenjoys an “Overwhelmingly Positive” overall review rating on Steam, and it has enjoyed a similarly positive response onXbox Game Passas well.
Brotatojoined the Xbox Game Pass lineupearlier this year. Its previous availability on PC meant thatBrotatowas not technically a “day one” game, but it was still added to Game Pass on the very day that it was released for Xbox. TheVampire Survivors-style game is also available on PlayStation and Switch, though users on that platform will have to buy it outright instead of accessing it through a subscription.
WhileBrotatohas earned a great deal of praise, one common criticism has been its lack of local co-op, a defining feature of the game that inspired it. As announced during the Triple-I Initiative livestream,Brotatois adding local co-op this summer as a free update. A specific release date for the highly-anticipated new feature has not been announced at this time, but it will be available to users across all platforms, not just Game Pass.
Brotato Adding Local Co-Op and Paid DLC
Local co-op may be the headlining new feature of the upcoming freeBrotatoupdate, but there will be more to it than that. Players can also look forward toBrotatobalance changes, fixes for some of the game’s lingering bugs, and “new content to enrich the gameplay experience.” But that’s not all thatBrotatofans have to look forward to this summer.
The same day thatBrotatogets its big free update, those that like the game can also pick up its first paid DLC. Titled Abyssal Terrors, the firstBrotatoDLC features more than 10 new characters, more than 10 new weapons, and over 30 items to collect across “20 new challenging waves.” We’ve already seen howVampire SurvivorsDLChas extended the life of that game, and hopefully the same will happen withBrotato.
The addition of local co-op toBrotatoshould be huge for the game, and could go a long way in convincing more players to check it out. Assuming local co-op is added without a hitch, it seemsBrotatois going to find itself as one of the betterXbox Game Pass local co-op gamesavailable.
